  • Introduction*
    Introduction* CLAIRE GILMAN If Francesco Vezzoli’s recent star-studded Pirandello extravaganza at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Senso Unico exhibition that ran con- currently at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center are any indication, contemporary Italian art has finally arrived.1 It is ironic if not entirely surprising, however, that this moment occurs at a time when the most prominent trend in Italian art reflects no discernible concern for things Italian. Rather, the media-obsessed antics of Vezzoli or Vanessa Beecroft (featured alongside Vezzoli in Senso Unico) are better understood as exemplifying the precise eradication of national and cultural boundaries that is characteristic of today’s global media culture. Perhaps it is all the more fitting, then, that this issue of October returns to a rather different moment in Italian art history, one in which the key practition- ers acknowledged the invasion of consumer society while nonetheless striving to keep their distance; and in which artists responded to specific national condi- tions rooted in real historical imperatives. The purpose of this issue is twofold: first, to give focused scholarly attention to an area of post–World War II art history that has gained increasing curatorial exposure but still receives inadequate academic consideration. Second, in doing so, it aims to dismantle some of the misconceptions about the period, which is tra- ditionally divided into two distinct moments: the assault on painting of the 1950s and early ’60s by the triumverate Alberto Burri, Lucio Fontana, and Piero Manzoni, followed by Arte Povera’s retreat into natural materials and processes.

The work, titled 8-5-3, was first shown at Kunsthaus Zurich in 1985 and it features three igloos constructed from metal and glass, covered with fragments of clamps and twigs, and linked by neon tubes. The phrase Objet cache-toi or ‘a hiding place’ stretches across the structure in red neon lights. In 1968 Merz produced Giap’s Igloo, the first of these archetypal dwellings that have become his signature works. Through the igloo motif Merz explores the fundamentals of human existence: shelter, nourishment and humanity’s relationship to nature. He examines the lost purity of pre- industrial societies as well as the changing, nomadic identity of modern man. Merz’s igloos are comprised of diverse materials including the organic and the artificial, the opaque and the transparent, the heavy and the lightweight. The title of the exhibition, 8-5-3, corresponds to the diameter of each of the three igloos. Furthermore, it refers to the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical series of numbers recognized in the 13th century. In this sequence, each numeral is equal to the sum of the two that precede it: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and so on.

    Don't Miss Magazzino's Re-Opening! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Don't Miss Magazzino's Re-Opening! I. i. (March 02, 2018) Magazzino's latest exhibition "Arte Povera: From the Olnick Spanu Collection" presents a comprehensive overview on the artistic practice of 12 artists associated with the Italian Arte Povera movement such as Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pierpaolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Gilberto Zorio. This exhibition represents the Olnick Spanu Collection's [2]core of Post-war Italian art, allowing the space to be an environment solely devoted to this generation of Italian artists. Their work came at a defining moment in the 1960s, as Italy was transitioning into an era of Page 1 of 2 Don't Miss Magazzino's Re-Opening! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) burgeoning industrialization, student rebellion, and a decline of the “economic miracle” of the 1950s allowed by the Marshall Plan [3]. The artists aimed to eradicate the boundaries between media as well as between nature and art, their mantra was “Art is Life.” The term Arte Povera, coined by art critic Germano Celant [4]in 1967 to mean "impoverished art," grew out of the radical stance artists were taking in response to their dissatisfaction with the values established by political, industrial and cultural institutions in Italy. Following the movement’s inception by Celant, 1968 was a year of seismic social and political change across the globe which percolated into the time's art scene.

Dal 1984, anno di nascita del Museo, per volontà in primis della Regione Piemonte, le collezioni sono cresciute in dialogo organico con l’attività espositiva e si sono costantemente arricchite grazie ad acquisizioni, donazioni e comodati. Dopo le mostre di esordio Ouverture, che hanno tracciato una prima ipotesi di Collezione, le prime acquisizioni sono state formalizzate nel 1986, con opere quali Yurupari – Stanza di Rheinsberg (1984) di Lothar Baumgarten, Casa di Lucrezio (1981) di Giulio Paolini, Persone Nere (1984) di Michelangelo Pistoletto. Tra i capolavori della Collezione figurano Ambiente Spaziale (1967) di Lucio Fontana, Novecento (1997), l’opera iconica di Maurizio Cattelan e la Venere degli Stracci (1967) di Pistoletto, che sono diventate fondamentali nella costruzione dell’identità del Museo. Negli anni successivi, il costante impegno degli Amici del Castello di Rivoli, gruppo composto da collezionisti e mecenati italiani e internazionali, ha contribuito ad accrescere le opere di proprietà del Castello. Dal 2000, la storia delle Collezioni è inoltre scandita dal ruolo svolto dalla Fondazione CRT per l’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea. Il costante impegno della Fondazione contribuisce alla crescita delle Collezioni del Castello di Rivoli attraverso l’acquisizione di opere date in comodato, su proposta del direttore del Museo e avvalendosi di un comitato scientifico.

  • The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein Presents the Historic Years of the Arte Povera with More Than 130 Works
    The Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein presents the historic years of the Arte povera with more than 130 works >“What is to be done?” asks the large scale Arte povera exhibition which the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein has realized for its 10 year anniversary. The exhibition focuses on the time between 1967 and 1972 and includes works by all principal artists of the Arte povera movement. The artists of the Arte povera movement sought to bridge the gap between art and life, expanding consciousness by reducing the distance between the artwork and the spectator. The familiar, ordinary things that we tend to regard as worthless were to be rediscovered as new, art-worthy materials; previously neglected everyday items were to be transformed into meaningful works of art. The new art was to be more simple and more modest in its means, and more authentic in its materials. In this way, Arte povera was to open up a poetic and sensual window on the world and the energies behind all that exists, creating metaphors of the life-force that flows from primor- dial sources – metaphors, above all, of the spiritual energies that seek to change rigid structures. The exhibition centres around the leading topics of the Arte povera: time, the history of the earth, energy and alchemy. Che fare? Arte povera includes works by Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Piero Gilardi, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Emilio Prini, Salvo and Gilberto Zorio. Many of the works shown will be from the collection of the museum.

Since its inception in the 1960s, this influential group of post-war disruptors has enjoyed varying degrees of visibility in the United States, with a significantly stronger presence in commercial galleries than in the country’s institutional collections. Although these artists remain vital fixtures in European institutions, isolated works on view in stateside museums are scarce, and few museums have featured 1 poveristi solo exhibitions in recent memory. Nevertheless, Installation shot of Arte Povera. Courtesy Hauser & Wirth. from the outset of the movement, Arte Povera has remained a closely held love for a cadre of devoted supporters. Taking place outside the public institutions where we might ordinarily expect to find this sort of historical treatment, these four exhibitions richly illustrate their patronage and a compelling portrait of a fiercely innovative group of artists. From September to October, Hauser & Wirth hosted Arte Povera: Curated by Ingvild Goetz. Goetz began collecting Arte Povera with a passion early on; her extensive holdings occupied three floors of the gallery’s Chelsea location, amounting to a museum-quality display. This season, Luxembourg & Dayan is presenting Contingencies: Arte Povera and After, an exhibition showcasing historically significant selections alongside a handful of emerging artists.
